CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago police believe the same suspects who targeted construction workers on the West Side last week have struck again.

Now, according to police, there was another incident on Sunday, this time at a construction site in the 3200 block of West 16th Street.

According to authorities, the suspects fled in a gray Nissan Murano.

In the first incident, a group of construction workers were robbed at gunpoint by three criminals at a construction site in North Lawndale. The entire incident was captured on video.

The brazen crime occurred Wednesday morning as workers were pouring concrete into the basement of a building in the 1300 block of South Homan Avenue that is currently undergoing renovation.

“It took less than 90 seconds to go in, rob everyone and then drive away,” said the man who owns the building next door and whose security cameras recorded the incident, who asked to remain anonymous.

The incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Property owner and contractor Martiez Greyer was actually on site at the three apartments and said the concrete workers he hired were outside preparing to build a basement floor when they were attacked.

“It was definitely scary. I saw people who were scared and didn't want to continue working. We understood that kind of thing,” he said.

The footage shows the cement workers setting up their things on a vacant lot next door. Then the three thieves approach. One of them pulls out a gun and demands their property. A second gunman takes money and a cell phone from the 38-year-old worker, while a third armed robber searches the cab of the cement truck, looking for valuables. He finds none.

“Overall, no one was injured. We were able to keep our composure and are now back out here trying to repair the property,” said Greyer.

Greyer said his co-workers were shaken but not injured. Security cameras captured the trio of criminals getting into a silver SUV and fleeing.

The contractor has increased security at the site. The Chicago police investigation is ongoing, but no one has been arrested.
